About Me

~~~QUITE SIMPLY, I'M VEGAN AND LOVE TO COOK! ~~~ Over the years, I've collected tons of "Favorite Family Recipes" that I'm gradually veganizing. Friends and family are ALWAYS asking for recipes, so I decided to post them here.
~~~~ If I get an idea from a cookbook, I'll be sure and note it, but most ideas are recipes I've modified 'till they don't resemble the original, or I got from family members, or came up with thru trial and error.
~~~~ That said: I'm first-and-foremost a MOM to three wonderful Veggie Kids who are my life, my passion, my WORLD!
~~~~ I'm in that "over-forty" crowd (though you know what they say about us "older women"!)and lovin' it - I wouldn't trade this age for any other.
~~~ Of course, I'm vegan and passionate about my lifestyle, sharing recipes and ideas, and showing people all the tasty goodies that we Vegans eat!
~~~ What else...Oh, I'm also a Special Education Teacher working in a program with Autistic Kindergarteners.
~~~ My life is full and challenging, exhausting and exhilerating. Most days I love it. Other days I come home and turn into a couch potato and snuggle with my girls.

Once again, that time of year rolls around, accompanied by excitement, anxiousness, and maybe a bit of panic.
So soon? Am I ready? Is the rest of the world ready? The year went by so fast!
It's happening SO much sooner than expected.
Autumn? Back-To-School Shopping? Back-To-Work? Kids off to high-school? Kids off to college? My Birthday? Yearly Physical? Time for a haircut? Season 12 of The ELLEN Show? Vegan Mofo?
Yep. All of the above.
Most of these events are probably self-explanatory.

But in case you're wondering about that last one?
What the heck is "Vegan MoFo"?
Very simply, it's "Vegan Month of Food Blogging", a yearly event where a couple zillion vegan food bloggers from across the Internets, (like myself except way less lazy than I) commit to blogging a certain amount (some daily!!) for the month of September.

I'm one of those people! Though, with all that's going on in my life, I should be committed... not to the kitchen, but probably to the loony bin, for attempting this now! Anyway, come along for the ride!

^^^ Gravy. Duh.

Here's the deal.
For the month of September, I'm going (to attempt) to blog on a semi-regular basis, no promises as to how often.
It's been six months since I've blogged. You're lucky to be reading this at ALL! But here we go!

For those who have asked, or even if you don't care, I'm going to reprise a version of my theme - "Vegan Month Of Gravy" similar to previous years.
Yes, there may be a few repeats because some vegan-gravy-goodness is too good, or classic (or basic) to leave out. but there will be new recipes and ideas. Possibly recipes OTHER than gravy.

Um. Gravy? Maybe.

Keep in mind that Indians make curry gravy, Italians have their tomato ragu gravy and New Mexico's famous green chile sauce is also known as "green chile gravy", so you'll have lots to choose from. Stay tuned for awesome-sauce!
